You have two options, I think: work remote or work locally.
Personally, I strongly suggest you work on your local machine. Install
PHP there, along with the necessary database, and make a copy of the
site. Using Subversion, CVS, Sourcesafe, or whatever source code control
system can be a great help in getting your local site live quickly and
in a managed way. The great advantage is that working locally allows you
to make stupid mistakes (like code that fails to include a WHERE clause
in an UPDATE query, for example, I really did that once) without having
a real catastrophe.
If you must work remote, it greatly depends on the server you are
working on. If it features an X server, you could even run a graphical
IDE on the server using Cygwin as your terminal.
